Put your hands together now… Y-M-C-A…

April was “no joiner fee” month for the Y, so we decided to take the plunge into the gym world. Since Saturday, we have experienced the treadmills, the weight room, group class, and the pool. At least we’re starting out on the right foot. Maybe I can get back to my figure of long ago….

Hallelujah! Rosie is gone!

I don’t know about you, but I was THRILLED when I saw the news on my yahoo page that Rosie is leaving The View. I happened to really like her when she was on her show back in the day, but I just can NOT stand to watch her on The View. She absolutely drives…

The Ladies of the WILDS…

We had a good time at our Ladies Retreat last weekend. We had some good times together. Learned some good lessons. Ate some good food. Had some good thrills, and didn’t get any sleep! There were about 10 of us in the room, and a few of the more talkative ladies were up well into…

It’s my party, and we’ll do what I want to…

Birthday’s were always SO big in my house growing up. The birthday person was always made to feel so special and had free reign for the day to do or not do whatever they wanted (within reason, of course). Birthdays are not as big of a deal to my wonderful husband. Maybe he would agree…

Girls Night Out… Sort of…

I’m leaving this afternoon on a just over 24 hour Ladies Retreat with my church. I’ve gone several times since I’ve been married and it often seems to happen that I am going through some ordeal for which I need the special encouragement. It’s fun getting to spend some time with some other ladies apart…

Poor Jared… and Uncle Mack and Aunt Jen too

My nephew Jared has been struggling with asthma a bit lately and went to the doctor Wednesday with some more symptoms. His oxygen levels were so low they sent him to Presbyterian Children’s Hospital via an exciting ambulance ride. They were only supposed to keep them a night, but decided to keep him last night…

Take the test… Are you happy?

Oprah did a show on Happiness the other day. I thought it quite interesting. See how happy you are…..take the test I think the concept is that you can affect your happiness by your outlook on life and the circumstances you face. The pessimist and the optimist are both right about life. They focus on…

Hooray! Sanjaya is gone! Sanjaya is gone!!!

I’m a reality tv junkie. I don’t know what it is about watching real people in those reality tv situations, but I can’t seem to get enough. I watch Survivor, Apprentice, Amazing Race, Big Brother, and obviously, American Idol. I’m not a believer in the vote for the worst philosophy. If you haven’t heard about…

Terror at Virginia Tech

I’m sitting here watching the CNN coverage of this horrific story. How could a 23 year old think this was his only course of action? Listening to the accounts of the survivors is horrifying. One group of students saw the gunman in the hall and decided to barricade the door with tables and desks. The…

Her price is far above rubies…

Saturday was the Annual Ladies Banquet at church. This is the event I mentioned earlier explaining all the work that goes into these functions. We were at the church Thursday evening until 11:30 pm and then Friday I was there from 11 am to 3 pm or so. It was a lot of work, but…
